Of those two years of pre-Title IX basketball, Katie says:

Our practices were in Encina Gym at dinner time - when the men weren’t using the gym. In order to be “official”, we needed a coach. The only one, bless her heart, who volunteered was Shirley Schoof, the women’s field hockey coach. She knew NOTHING about basketballball but showed up at our games to make it official. She basically allowed Terry and some of the others to coach ourselves. Paula Johnson was the other center, besides me. We were horrible – mainly because most of us had played the old “2 offense, 2 defensive players and 1 rover” basketball and now we played traditional 5 full court players. We had no jerseys, but were told to wear white T shirts (with our red pennys) and black shorts/pants. I think we played Cal Berkeley, Santa Clara and maybe SJS or Hayward.

Played basketball and volleyball only from 1971-1973 because she was pre-med and had chemistry labs that profs wouldn't let her miss for practice

Transferred to Stanford from the University of Oregon
at the beginning of her sophomore year, along with her roommate Terry Borchers who had been notified that Stanford needed to form a women’s basketball team to satisfy requirements of Title IX.
